What makes you a PV master is figuring out how to get "w-a-nking" past the naughty word filter...impressive as always Cy
Haha, we'll see how masterful I am after I got modsassinated for that one lol

So, life's been too busy for me to closely follow my subscribed threads. What did we come up with as far as the safeness of the "bamboo" yarn? I did see that someone brought up the fact that it's viscose. The fact that it's viscose pretty much means it's rayon, and no longer bears any real resemblance to bamboo. It's cellulose fiber. They jacked the cellulose from bamboo in this case, but it could have come from a tree, or any plant. The good part would be that rayon is more absorbent than cotton, the potential bad is that it's obviously not a true natural fiber any more. But stainless steel isn't natural, and it's very good. As long as the rayon doesn't leach anything when it's hot, we should be OK, right? I think they use rayon for growing tissue cultures, and it's biodegradable, so the lung-irritant mesothelioma shouldn't be an issue. Have we come up with any negative aspects, health-wise?
Ceramic?

•Ceramic heating element and dual coils
•No cotton inside, no parts to melt
It says for: "use for oil, hash oil and wax vaporizing"
Is this new? Anybody know where to get one of these for a test?

...not sure what they are indicating, but they offer a sample order of 5 sets.
"Terms of payment and shipment:
MOQ: 5 sets and sample order is acceptable
OEM: available at 500sets
Payment: TT/Western union
Shipping time: sample orders within 3 days, bulk orders within 5-7days"
Elsewhere it seems a set is a box which contains one unit.
Just talked to them. Its $15 for 5 plus $32 shipped. So $47 to your door for 5 of them. 510 base.

For me, I have to stop every so often and put these things back into perspective...I just recently had my 1 yr/no cigs anniversary so from a "harm reduction" point of view...seems to me that Aunt Lydia's would be an order of magnitude safer than what I was inhaling a year ago...don't get me wrong, I'm not diminishing the possible harm I could be exposing myself to but....
I'm with you on this. It's a "lesser of evils" thing for certain. But there's long term heart/cancer stuff, and there's "oh, this causes cumulative irreversible brain damage, you'll be a vegetable in a year". Maybe next year instead of Quigsworth and Bourbonman we'll be Carrotsworth and Broccoliman....Kale_Breeze and Celery Vap, MickeyRutabaga, TomCabbage, and the rest.
Meh, whatevah. Off to boil some yarn.
Oh, yeah +10 from TomCabbage
...you know that's gonna stick
I'll save you the effort of DL'ing your new avatar...

A few of the ingredients that goes into the making of a regular cigarettes:
Acetone - ingredient in nail polish remover
Methanol - used as rocket fuel
Naphthylamine - a carcinogen
Pyrene - a carcinogen
Naphthalene - moth repellent
Cadmium - used in batteries, a carcinogen
Carbon monoxide - poisonous gas
Vinyl Chloride - used in plastic materials
Cyanhydric acid - poisonous gas
Ammonia - industrial cleaner and detergent
Arsenic - lethal poison
Dibenzacridine - a carcinogen
Polonium 210 - a radioactive element
DDT - insecticide
Formaldehyde - embalming fluid
The liquid and vapor containfour five main ingredients:
Nicotine
Propylene glycol
Vegetable glycerine
Flavoring
Viscose
I'll keep using the bamboo. I'll pay attention to information about it - but for now it's a risk/benefit tradeoff I'm willing to make compared to the stinkies I've been w/o for almost a year now, since I started vapin'.

Been following this mega thread off and on since the inception. Lazy bones here finally has gotten around to giving this a go.
Made a wick last night with thinned out kitchen twine. Amazingly good vape using this in a Griffin. Chain vaping some Heather's Heavenly Vapes Peach Tobacco. In vaping heaven right about now.
Lesson learned is as has been stated in this thread numerous times was to keep the wick loose. To get the wick through the coil, and snake it down into the tank, I wet the wick with juice and twisted it tight. Once I had it in place, I used a sewing needle to spread out the wick so it just made contact with every part of the coil. Used magnifying head gear to get it just right.

Ok, ok, I'll stop, quit throwing things at me!
Well maybe you got my new moniker correct - I am of that age where I have to get up 2-3 times through the night to ....
just stopping by because by next week i need to give this a try .......hiya, cabbagecatt!
this has probably been done by many if not most of you, but anyway...
you make your wick by wrapping loops of yarn around your fingers as suggested by someone a little while back (say 4 full loops of bamboo for an 8 strand wick)
cut the loose end and. take a piece of wire (I have bits of kanthal all over my desk and carpet lol) and hook the end of the wick, twist the free ends of the kanthal into a thin double wire. Pull through the coil twisted ends of kanthal first.
Voila, assembly complete. You can tell by the friction if you done good. That's what she s... never mind.
No silly saliva or snaking business
